We are back. Allison Trent Quansah Virgil Robertson Gravenberch Jones Salah Szobo Diaz Jota Others in contention to start: Elliott, Mac Allister, Tsmikas, Bradley.
Slot said today that the players who just got back to Anfield aren't ready for Ipswich. that could include Virgil and Mac ... and maybe Trent?
I'm going with the lineup above. He may have indicated he didn't think the returners would be ready - but they probably will have shown enough by the weekend. the biggest issue that we face is playing a promoted team away - they will be flying.
For the most part. Mac Allister looked way off the pace against Sevilla and looked like he needed more preseason time. Robertson looked fine and ready to go in the second match, so give me a fit Robertson over Tsmikas any day.
The Tractor boys are coming... That's what I remember about Ipswich Town when George Burley led them to a 5th place finish and and UEFA Cup spot. Burley was gonna be the 'next big thing' in management after that season.
I didn’t grow up in the states and Ipswich Town are one of the first clubs I was aware of. It was an FA Cup final between them and Arsenal (a quick Google search tells me that) Tricky game.
yep. they have a system of playing that they are all well-drilled in, while Slot's methods are still bedding in. we're starting the season with a 100% banana-skin game.
Roger Osborne. Who was so completely overwhelmed at scoring in a Cup Final (that was a thing then) that he had to be subbed within 5 minutes of scoring. Think it’s the only time I’ve seen a player being overcome so immensely with emotion to the point that he couldn’t continue.
Ed Sheeran is such a great touch there. Good to see that he has no problem having the piss taken out of him. (Still think music is crap, mind you. ).
they really have gotten better and better. their creative team is excellent. equal opportunity laugh providers too. almost makes you forget they are a horrible betting organization.
Don't blame him, blame David and (wanna see a) D.B. for allowing him a cameo, not to mention the entire slow-moving train wreck that was seasons 5-8.
Newly promoted club at home and a newly appointed visiting head coach— what could possibly go wrong? We need to keep our heads especially in the opening minutes. Last season we were notorious for conceding first.
It's a new season - everything is bright and rosy Yeah - we've got Ipswich away to open Who would you rather have? Slot Ball begins Just win baby!
as with guns, laving crossbows around can be problematic...... Leaving the bow aside - Charles Dance is a fellow who really can project menace on screen at levels wayyy better than the average actor....
